Based in the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, at the University of Oxford, The IDEAL Collaboration is an initiative that aims to improve the quality of surgical research, and build up a robust evidence base about new procedures and devices.

Key principles of IDEAL are transparency, ethics, and reduction of research waste.

What do we do? 

• The Collaboration wishes to engage with all stakeholders involved in surgical research.

• Provide tools/workshops to help train surgical researchers in study design, conduct and reporting
Undertake research projects to further develop IDEAL

• Encourage implementation of IDEAL principles by work with various stakeholders. These include journals, policy-makers, regulators, industry and funders of research.

You can find out more about out specific work in the Projects section on our website. This includes our Advisory Service, which aims to help budding researchers in planning good, quality research studies in surgery and other non-pharmaceutical interventions.
